«In 1206, a man known as Temujen was crowned Genghis Khan - "emperor of all emperors". His mounted Mongol army swept out of the steppes of Asia in an apocalyptic wave to conquer two thirds of the known world. Recent finds in the arid lands of Inner Mongolia are casting a new light on Genghis Khan. Although he was a conquering emperor, Genghis Khan was also a supreme military strategist and clever politician. He was the product of a rich cultural and artistic heritage dating back 6000 years.»
«This stunning international exhibit displayed silk garments, solid-gold ornaments, rare porcelain wares, a full-size painted coffin found in a 10th century tomb, gold saddle ornaments, intricate bronze statues, and priceless funeral paintings. Many of the objects were from recent archaeological excavations and had never before been shown outside of Mongolia - until this tour.»
